    Thanks for following up. We have reviewed the request again.

    Instead of adding Secure Delete specifically to BitLocker2Go, we believe the better approach is to make it a generic Device Control capability for removable drives, independent of whether Enc2Go, BitLocker2Go or no DriveLock encryption is used.

    One important limitation is that traditional secure deletion works by overwriting the original data. This is reasonably applicable to HDDs, but cannot be guaranteed for SSDs and many flash-based USB devices because of wear leveling: the storage controller may write the replacement data to a different physical memory location instead of overwriting the original block.

    We therefore consider the feature useful, but its technical limitations must be clearly communicated.
